Jyoti Aneja

I am a PhD student at UIUC working with Alex Schwing and also collaborate with David Forsyth . My research interests lie at the intersection of Computer Vision, Deep Learning and Natural Language Processing. I have spent time at Snap Research, LA (Summer 2018), Microsoft Research, Redmond (Summer 2019) and NVIDIA Research, Santa Clara (Summer 2020).

In my (not so) past life, I was a physicist. I have a MS in Physics from UIUC.
